I am in 10th grade and wish to crack NTSE exam.

Question: I am in 10th grade and being a bright student I wish to crack NTSE (National Talent Search exam) exam this year, please guide me for the same.

Dear Teentalker,

Thanks for reaching out.

Go through the NTSE Syllabus and grasp the concepts, Concentrate on class 9 and 10th class syllabus and then solve sample papers to practice the questions.

You can refer to Agrawal’s Verbal and non-verbal Reasoning which is the best book to prepare for the MAT section of NTSE 1. But before you refer this book you must finish the NCERT syllabus and have strong command over them.

Some pattern of preparation which you must follow is:

First Level

·Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT)

This test has multiple-choice questions, where one alternative is correct. However, it can also have matching, arrange the sequence, true & false statements and questions based on passages. The idea is to assess the reasoning ability and logical thinking of the candidates.

·Mental Ability Test (MAT)

It has a variety of questions about analogies, classification, series, pattern perception, hidden figures, coding-decoding, block assembly, problem-solving, etc. Here, the goal is to gauge the power of reasoning, ability to judge, evaluate, visualize in space, spatial orientation, etc. of the candidates.

Second Level

A new pattern of Stage 2 exams has been announced by NCERT, where each correctly answered question earns the candidate one mark while an incorrect answer deducts 1/3 marks. This level of exam tests the students’ potential concerning their mental abilities, languages, scholastic aptitudes and social sciences.
